Convergent evolution, like carcinization. Everything eventually ends up a crabby*, stocky parody of a Scotsman. *pun thoroughly intended.

Lol! I never thought of that--that Dragonlance lems is enough that minotaurs are almost always Roman-Legion-coded initially for me. Viking minotaurs sound awesome. Edit: typo

Great memory; thanks for sharing it. I actually PLAYED before I ever read a fantasy novel. I was more "Hardy Boys" and "Illustrated Classics" at that time, but I WAS seriously into Castle Lego as a kid, which probably contributed to how quickly I got into the game, and then the novels after I...

Same. We even called it "Version 1.5: If you can find it in a book you can play it."

It's funny to me, because I came to D&D largely through Dragonlance originally, and I have realized that I tend to view other settings and storylines through that lens, even Lord of the Rings (which I read later, reread and enjoyed more, and certainly put more academic analysis into). It's the...

Word of God/Word of St. Paul is yes. In regard to Peter David connecting Trelane to Q and SNW's portraly of Trelane-Is-A-Q, "co-showrunner Akiva Goldsman told Inverse: 'Greater minds than ours put it together, and we were like, well, let us reward that brilliant thinking by making it canon'"...

LOL at myself. And I was literally reading the first novel with my daughter at the time I was trying to brainstorm clerics, and Baldric never even crossed my mind. I'm tired, Boss.

I admit, I bought it just because I wanted a demogorgon mini. Coincidentally, I just re-read it, because my seven-year old has it in his head he wants to do a dungeon crawl, and it might be perfect for what he wants. But I might hold off now for the new set and see how it fits my kids group...

That's my bard's next hit single. Somehow, I always forget that guy exists. And even then, I forget he's a cleric. For whatever reason, every Faerun bad guy is a wizard, most likely a lich, in my head. Yup, those were the two I was able to call up after a little bit. Thank you. Now I half-want...

I've never been a huge FR player; aside from Shadowheart (who took me way too long to remember), does FR have "iconic" clerics? (Yes, as I type that I remembered there's an entire series called "The Cleric Quintet.") Oh. Indeed! I'm sure we'll see Drizzt. We always see Drizzt.

Edit: Spoilers (and apologies for not doing that to start) She has , so there's some cross-marketing synergy there, too. Now I'm wondering if she pops up

And NOT Drizzt? I'm confused. /s

I'm running the first starter this fall. Maybe I'll tack this on to the end. :D

I don't think I made it 90 seconds from when I saw it posted in the One Ring Facebook group to hitting "Order." I had them ordered even before I got the notification email from Free League. I, too, have a Starter Set problem.

If I lived in Sigil? Sensates. Hands down. The drive to experience everything in the city would override any other dogma. Real world me? Free League. Not much of a joiner, this one, and like Groucho said, "I wouldn't want to belong to a club that would have me as a member."
